Computer Power Supply and Switch Wiring Questions - 01.09.2011, 06:27 PM

Hey guys, ever since I got my new Antec P182 case, I've been itching to make this baby silent.

The 3 Tri-Cool fans I have in the back and front can get pretty loud at times when it's simply idling... so I want to make a switch.

So....

Here's my plan, I want to make a simple SPST switch for each and every fan, and since the fans are simply just + and - wires, wiring up a switch should be fairly easy. So I want to grab a few connectors, and wire the switches, however, I'm unsure of what and how much of a current the switches would need.

I know that the fans are running are probably running at 12V (max), and so most SPST switches are 125VAC rated. (Which I assume would be more than enough), however should I be worried about the current?

Also, as far as the wiring, would it be as simple as splicing the positive wire to one of switch's terminal, and another wire from the other switch terminal to the final positive wire?
